In Washington, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has officially urged the nation's top banking regulators — the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) — to launch public and private investigations into Staley's conduct while he was at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and later Barclays PLC. Warren's letter alleges that Staley helped shield Epstein's access to the banking system by intervening when internal red flags about Epstein's transactions were raised and that despite the banks settling for large sums in sister cases, Staley has so far avoided U.S. accountabilityAt the same time, U.S. lawsuits are advancing against Barclays and Staley over alleged investor mis-representation. A judge in Los Angeles denied Staley's request to dismiss a class-action claim that the bank and Staley misled investors about the true nature of his ties to Epstein after his arrest in 2019. The U.K.'s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) earlier found that Staley misled regulators by approving a letter stating his relationship with Epstein was not “close,” whereas email evidence showed they were in contact well beyond what the letter claimed.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

En Capital Intereconomía hemos comenzado la jornada repasando las claves del día y la evolución de los mercados en Asia, Wall Street y Europa, con una sesión marcada por los nuevos máximos históricos del Dow Jones, impulsado por la fortaleza de los resultados empresariales en EE. UU. En el primer análisis de la mañana, el economista Javier Santacruz ha destacado que el Dow Jones consolida su rally mientras el mercado asimila una avalancha de resultados corporativos. Sin embargo, el tono no ha sido del todo positivo: Netflix decepcionó al mercado tras publicar unos resultados por debajo de las previsiones y atribuir parte del retroceso a la caída de suscriptores en Brasil. Hoy será una jornada intensa de resultados con grandes nombres como Kering, Hermès, Barclays, Michelin, Norwegian, Carrefour y Heineken, que podrían marcar el pulso de los mercados europeos. Santacruz también ha comentado la histórica caída del oro, que ha sufrido un desplome del 5%, la mayor caída en cinco años, reflejando el ajuste de las posiciones especulativas tras los últimos máximos. En el mercado español, ha resaltado el anuncio de Iberdrola, que junto a Endesa y Naturgy, pedirá al Gobierno mantener abierta la central de Almaraz, alegando motivos de seguridad de suministro y estabilidad del sistema eléctrico. Otro dato relevante: la deuda pública española alcanza un nuevo récord y roza los 1,7 billones de euros, lo que supone el 108% del PIB. En la entrevista internacional, hemos conversado con el diplomático Gustavo de Arístegui, que ha analizado la nueva posición de la Unión Europea ante la guerra en Ucrania. Bruselas se suma a la petición de Trump de un alto el fuego inmediato y sopesa endurecer las sanciones contra Rusia. Arístegui también ha comentado el ingreso en prisión de Nicolas Sarkozy, primer expresidente francés en hacerlo, y el nuevo escenario diplomático global con la cancelación de la cita entre Trump y Putin tras el rechazo ruso al alto el fuego, mientras se prepara un inminente encuentro entre Trump y Xi Jinping.

Ponemos el foco en valores como Unicredit, Barclays, Heineken, Novo Nordisk y Adidas. Con Alberto Roldán, profesor de finanzas de la Universidad Europea.

Los futuros sobre índices estadounidenses adelantan apertura a la baja en Wall Street y mercado Nasdaq. No destacan hoy las buenas noticias en sector tecnológico. Meta suprime 600 puestos en su unidad de inteligencia artificial. El fabricante de chips Texas Instruments cae tras sombrías previsiones para el cuarto trimestre. Y Apple se lleva en Europa otra denuncia antimonopolio. Ya venía la sesión torcida con los resultados de Netflix de anoche. En mercados europeos destaca la Bolsa de Londres. Es, junto a la española, la única que sortea las caídas. Lo hace gracias a recompras de acciones de Barclays y datos de inflación que alientan las apuestas a una bajada de tipos. La Bolsa francesa pierde por cuentas en lujo. La caída de las ventas de L'Oréal y los números de Hermes no entusiasman. El Ibex35 se sostiene en verde por los bancos y ACS. Analizamos esta hora activos de riesgo con José Francisco Ibáñez, de Tressis, y bonos con Robert Casajuana, de SLM.

Jes Staley, the former CEO of Barclays, has seen his reputation and career unravel after revelations of a deeper-than-declared relationship with Jeffrey Epstein surfaced. Regulators found that Staley had misled both Barclays' board and the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) by characterizing his bond with Epstein as merely professional, when a trove of emails and correspondence suggested otherwise. The FCA banned Staley from holding senior roles in the UK financial sector and fined him—punishments he challenged in court but largely failed to overturn.Beyond regulatory action, Staley and Barclays now face class-action lawsuits in the U.S. alleging investor deception: shareholders claim the bank and Staley downplayed Epstein links to protect stock prices. A judge recently rejected efforts to dismiss the case, allowing it to proceed. Meanwhile, Staley has publicly accused the FCA of trying to “destroy” him, insisting he mostly had a professional relationship with Epstein and that he was transparent with regulatorsto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Die Stimmung an der Wall Street hebt sich merklich. Auch die Ratingagentur Moody's hält die Turbulenzen bei den Regionalbanken für übertrieben, was auch die breite Marktmeinung spiegelt. Wir haben vor dem Opening zahlreiche Ergebnisse aus dem Sektor, die kaum oder gar keine Zeichen einer nachlassenden Kreditqualität ausweisen, wie zum Beispiel bei American Express. Auch Truist Financial, Fifth Third und Regions Financial schlagen die Ertragsziele der Wall Street. Oracle tendiert nach dem gestrigen Analystentag etwas schwächer, obwohl das Management die Aussichten für das Fiskaljahr 2030 weiter angehoben hat. Wir sehen allerdings weiter steigende Kursziele bei Barclays, Guggenheim, Jefferies, Piper Sandler und der UBS.

Many women spend hours building pitch decks, collecting data, and rehearsing persuasive talking points for negotiations—only to unintentionally weaken their position the moment they enter the room. The issue often isn't the ask itself, but the posture from which it's made.In this second-part episode, Joan Moon and women's leadership coach Stephanie Aitken continue their deep dive into the hidden behaviors that quietly weaken your negotiating position. These patterns are so ingrained. Often praised as being “helpful,” “loyal,” or “easy to work with”, most women don't even realize how much influence they're giving away before the conversation begins. The good news? Once you recognize them, they're entirely fixable.ABOUT THE GUESTStephanie Aitken is a consultant, trainer, speaker, and coach, as well as the founder of Stephanie Aitken Consulting and the Gender Harmony Collective, an initiative designed to move beyond traditional gender equality toward true inclusivity. With over 25 years of professional experience, she began her career as an in-house lawyer for MTV and Channel 4, working on major projects such as the MTV Music Awards, Apple iTunes, and Stand Up to Cancer.Driven by her passion for people's growth, she retrained in neuro-linguistic programming, coaching, and transformational facilitation, later delivering interpersonal skills training for organizations including Network Rail, Dentons, Fieldfisher, and Barclays. She went on to serve as a lead trainer at One of Many, then the UK's largest women's personal development company, where she guided large groups through transformational programmes and honed her expertise as a speaker and facilitator.Stephanie now specializes in women's leadership development and inclusive workplace strategies, creating targeted coaching, workshops, and organizational programmes that accelerate women's careers while fostering environments where equity benefits everyone. Her mission is to evolve gender equality into a model where all employees can thrive, amplifying both individual potential and organizational success.MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:⚉ [Article] Are You Taking on Too Many Non-Promotable Tasks? - https://hbr.org/2022/04/are-you-taking-on-too-many-non-promotable-tasks —This podcast is a call-in show, so if you or a woman you know needs help in this area, feel free to contact me at joan@moonnegotiation.com to submit your questions or join me in our next episode. JOIN THE PRIORITY LIST FOR JOAN'S NEXT COHORT OF THE ADVANCED NEGOTIATION INTENSIVEhttps://course.moonnegotiation.com/Join-the-Priority-ListCONNECT WITH STEPHANIE:⚉ Website: https://www.stephanieaitken.com/ ⚉ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aitkenstephanie/ CONNECT WITH JOAN:⚉ Website: https://www.moonnegotiation.com/ ⚉ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joanmoon413/ ⚉ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moonnegotiation⚉ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@moonnegotiationJOIN THE MAILING LIST FOR NEWS AND NEGOTIATION TIPS:https://www.moonnegotiation.com/social-media Send us a text

The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) concluded that former Barclays CEO Jes Staley misled regulators about the depth of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The FCA determined that Staley “recklessly approved” misleading statements in a 2019 letter sent by Barclays, which downplayed his contact with Epstein and suggested their relationship had ended long before his tenure at the bank. In reality, correspondence revealed an ongoing relationship that continued for years after Epstein's first conviction. The FCA ruled that Staley's conduct demonstrated a lack of integrity and transparency expected of senior banking officials and issued a penalty totaling £1.8 million alongside a ban preventing him from holding any senior management or key function roles in the UK financial sector.After a lengthy appeal process, the UK Upper Tribunal upheld the FCA's decision in mid-2025, describing Staley's behavior as a “serious failure of judgment” and noting his lack of contrition throughout proceedings. While the tribunal slightly reduced the fine to £1.1 million, it agreed that Staley's conduct warranted a permanent ban from leadership positions within financial services. The ruling effectively ends Staley's career in banking and cements his downfall from one of the UK's most prominent financial figures to a cautionary tale of hubris, poor judgment, and the enduring fallout from his ties to Epstein.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Episode Summary: In this episode, Benoy Thanjan sits down with Sandhya Murali, Co-Founder & CEO of Solstice, and Sam Cote, Account Executive, to discuss the launch of Solstice's groundbreaking Community Solar Benefit REC program.  It is an innovative structure that channels corporate sustainability investments directly into underserved communities.

Jes Staley, the former JPMorgan Chase executive and later CEO of Barclays, has been deeply entangled in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal due to his long personal and professional relationship with the disgraced financier. Court filings and released communications show Staley exchanged more than a thousand emails with Epstein between 2008 and 2012—many sent after Epstein's conviction for sex crimes. These emails included references to young women, cryptic language, and even visits to Epstein's residences, fueling suspicion about Staley's awareness of and proximity to Epstein's trafficking activities. The U.S. Virgin Islands and Epstein's survivors have both pointed to Staley as a key JPMorgan figure who allegedly enabled Epstein to maintain banking access, despite his notoriety.The fallout for Staley has been significant. In 2021, he abruptly resigned as Barclays' CEO amid ongoing regulatory probes into the extent of his ties to Epstein. JPMorgan itself has faced billion-dollar lawsuits over its Epstein connections, with Staley frequently cited as a central figure in decisions to retain Epstein as a client. Allegations suggest he provided cover and access that allowed Epstein to continue exploiting financial networks after his conviction. Though Staley denies knowledge of Epstein's crimes, the legal and reputational damage has been severe, leaving him portrayed as one of the highest-profile executives caught in the web of Epstein's influence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Jes Staley, the former JPMorgan executive who later became CEO of Barclays, has alleged in court filings that he discussed Jeffrey Epstein directly with Jamie Dimon, including whether the bank should continue its relationship with Epstein after his 2008 conviction. According to Staley, Dimon was aware of Epstein's accounts and engaged in conversations about them, contradicting the narrative that JPMorgan's top leadership was in the dark. Dimon, however, has firmly denied this, testifying under oath that he never met Epstein, exchanged emails with him, or played any role in decisions about his accounts.Jes Staley, the former JPMorgan executive who later became CEO of Barclays, has alleged in court filings that he discussed Jeffrey Epstein directly with Jamie Dimon, including whether the bank should continue its relationship with Epstein after his 2008 conviction.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1156: Ford's Jim Farley warns America about jobs and trades in the AI era. Subaru reveals its first dealership redesign in nearly two decades. And the once-hyped “vibe coding” boom may already be running out of steam.Ford CEO Jim Farley says America's economy is at a crossroads. As AI threatens to eliminate millions of office jobs, he warns the U.S. is overlooking the “essential economy” of trades and manufacturing that keep the country running.Farley predicts up to 50% of white-collar jobs could vanish within a decade due to AI.Entry-level positions like clerical work and coding are especially at risk, shrinking career pathways for young professionals.By contrast, blue-collar fields face massive shortages—600,000 factory workers and nearly 500,000 construction workers are already needed.Farley highlights Germany's strong apprenticeship programs, saying the U.S. overemphasis on four-year degrees leaves trade careers underfunded and undervalued.“There's more than one way to the American Dream,” Farley said.Subaru is rolling out a new dealership design for the first time since 2007. Called the Connection Hub, the redesign mixes nature themes with high-tech touches, aiming to give customers an immersive brand experience.Exterior upgrades include a “grand, park-like pavilion” with star-shaped columns and a central walkway leading to inventory.Inside, “lifestyle vehicle vignettes” display cars in real-world scenarios, complete with accessories and digital storytelling.Outdoor areas will double as lounges, play spaces, or even dog parks to tie into Subaru's community-focused image.Dealers have voiced mixed reactions—90 retailers have said they're in, while others worry about costs amid slowing sales and rising interest rates.“This is more than a design update — it transforms our retailers' facilities into welcoming hubs,” said Subaru retail VP Tim Stallings.The vibe coding craze might be losing momentum. Barclays analysts say traffic to AI-powered app and site builders—once hyped as the future of no-code—has slumped hard after peaking earlier this year.Lovable, which hit $100M ARR in June, has seen visits fall 40%, Vercel's v0 plunged 64% and Bolt.new dropped 27%.Analysts warn many of these gains came from month-to-month subscribers, making revenue growth less durable than it looked during the hype cycle.Heavy “inference whale” users earlier strained business models, forcing startups to raise prices, which may have accelerated the slowdown.“The churn rate for everyone is really high,” said Bolt.new CEO Eric Simons. “You have to build a retentive business.”0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier0:37 The History of The Jacket Paul is Wearing Today2:01 Upcoming ASOTU Edge Webinar with Uber for Business2:30 Jim Farley On AI's WJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

At Climate Week NYC continues, the hottest topic is the question of how to meet growing demand for electricity while cutting emissions. In New York State, electricity use is expected to increase by 25% over the next 15 years. To meet that demand, the state plans to add tens of gigawatts or renewables. But that is not enough. It also wants more “dispatchable, emissions-free” power to keep the grid stable, and that includes new nuclear reactors.Back in June, Governor Kathy Hochul asked the New York Power Authority to move ahead with at least 1 gigawatt of new nuclear generation. And the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is exploring what it needs to do to make that happen. Doreen Harris is President and CEO, and she explains to host Ed Crooks that nuclear is a central pillar of an emissions-free power mix.She says New York's plan isn't about bringing back old reactors like the ones at the Indian Point nuclear plant, controversially closed in 2021. The state wants new designs that are safer, modular, and more efficient. NYSERDA is leading a “Master Plan for Responsible Advanced Nuclear Development”, expected to be published by end of 2026, to explore technologies ranging from large reactors to small modular and micro reactors. Ed and Doreen discuss the plan, and the barriers and opportunities for nuclear in the US.Support from federal, state and local governments is going to be essential to make new nuclear construction a reality. But backing from the private sector will also be essential. Nick Campanella is a Senior Equity Research Analyst at Barclays investment bank. He says new nuclear investment will move forward only if three pieces line up: clear policy support, customers willing to buy the power, and an EPC ready to build the plant.Nick and Ed discuss the cost overruns and delays that have plagued nuclear projects in the West. Hyperscalers might be able to get costs down by committing to multiple reactor builds at once. The ‘first-of-a-kind' project is always risky. The ‘nth-of-a-kind' developments that benefit from the lessons learned on previous projects should be more predictable, and less costly. Nick believes it is quite possible that a final investment decision to build at least one new nuclear plant in the US is very possible before the end of 2026. If that happens, the first project to go ahead could be for large plants, not small or micro reactors. The US grid doesn't need tens of megawatts; it needs thousands.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Under the lights at the Cottage, Fulham once again proved that derby day belongs to SW6, dismantling Brentford 3-1 in a performance full of grit, guile, and goals. From Iwobi's sharp reactions to cancel out Josh King's early error, to Harry Wilson's trademark strike against his favourite opposition, and a Sessegnon-driven own goal that sealed it before half-time, Marco Silva's unchanged side showed character and quality in equal measure. With Andersen bullying Brentford's attack and spraying passes with ease, and Muniz bringing his usual chaos, the Whites outclassed a Bees team that looked more like Barclays-era Stoke than Premier League high-flyers. We break down the drama, the talking points, and look ahead to Cambridge in the cup.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Edward Bramson, through his investment vehicle Sherborne Investors, owned a ~5–6% stake in Barclays and repeatedly pushed the bank to address what he saw as governance failures tied to Jes Staley's past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Bramson publicly criticized Staley for not being sufficiently transparent about those links, particularly his time at JPMorgan, and demanded that the board take decisive action—either requiring Staley to be removed or revoking support for his reappointment as CEO. Bramson also raised questions about whether Staley had appropriately severed ties with Epstein, even after compliance/legal teams had urged him to do so.Over time, however, Staley managed to resist most of Bramson's pressure. By 2021 Bramson ended up selling Sherborne's entire stake in Barclays, backing down from his campaign to force structural changes to the investment banking division and leadership removal. While the regulatory investigations into Staley's Epstein connections continued and the issue caused reputational damage, Bramson was unable to gain enough shareholder or board support to force the changes he wanted.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Edward Bramson, through his investment fund Sherborne Investors, became a prominent activist shareholder in Barclays starting in 2018, with a stated goal of pushing the bank to scale back its investment banking arm and refocus on more stable retail operations and shareholder returns. Over time, Bramson intensified his criticism of Jes Staley, Barclays' CEO, especially after reports surfaced in 2020 that U.K. regulators (the Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority) were investigating whether Staley had been sufficiently transparent about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Bramson argued that the board's unanimous recommendation to re-elect Staley was “extremely ill-advised,” saying Staley's ties to Epstein had introduced reputational risk and that the board should reconsider whether he was “suitable” to lead Barclays.Despite Bramson's campaign, his efforts were unsuccessful. Barclays' strategy around its investment banking division showed better performance, especially during market volatility, which helped Staley defend his leadership. In 2021, Bramson sold his entire ~6% stake in Barclays, effectively ending the activist challenge. Staley remained CEO until regulators released findings from their probe into how he had characterized his Epstein ties, at which point he stepped down.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.ft.com/content/febd924d-fccf-4525-bc6a-c65460d394c3Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

What if payment chains are the “AWS moment for money”? Simon Taylor — fintech veteran, ex-Barclays crypto lead, and author of FinTech Brainfood — joins Bankless to map the convergence of fintech and crypto. From stablecoins serving as the Trojan horse for tokenisation to Tempo's push for a payments chain, Simon explains why finance is on the brink of its biggest infrastructure shift since Visa. We cover the rise of payments L1s, the regulatory roulette of stablecoins, and whether neutrality and permissionlessness can survive in corporate-led networks. Plus, Simon breaks down the differences between stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and CBDCs — and explains why the future of finance is already being rebuilt on-chain. ---

Jes Staley, the former CEO of Barclays, saw roughly £22 million in bonuses and deferred compensation frozen in 2022 as regulators dug into his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The freeze included unvested share payouts and long-term incentive plans that Staley had been promised but had not yet received. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) launched their review after concerns emerged over how Staley characterized his personal relationship with Epstein, a man whose reputation was already well-tarnished by his 2008 sex-offense conviction. The decision marked a significant step for Barclays, signaling just how seriously the bank's board and regulators were taking any whiff of reputational risk tied to Epstein.The matter didn't end with the freeze. In 2023, the FCA moved to ban Staley from holding senior positions in the UK financial industry, citing his misleading accounts of the Epstein connection. Alongside the ban, regulators initially proposed a £1.8 million fine, which was later reduced to about £1.1 million. Staley ultimately forfeited around £18 million in bonuses and deferred pay. For a man who had once been a Wall Street heavyweight, it was a public and financial fall from grace that demonstrated the long shadow Epstein's scandal continues to cast over those in his orbit.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.wsj.com/articles/barclays-profit-falls-on-slowdown-in-investment-banking-11645603658Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
